About/Contact Me

Hello readers, welcome to my blog! I go by Fanya or ChicDabbler online and am located in US. I am obsessed with skincare and like to read about/try new things. I started blogging to share and hopefully help others make informed decisions about beauty. While the main focus of the blog is skincare, I will also be posting about pretty makeup, tips and occasional DIYs. (I used to go by BeautyTester on BeautyTalk, now renamed ChicDabbler, in case you are confused about some of the linking. I’m also on Instagram @ChicDabbler, which is more for pretty pictures and whimsical things).

Everything on this blog is my personal opinion and, unless stated otherwise, the products are purchased by me (or from a GWP or a trade I made). If a specific product or service is sponsored/provided for review for this blog, there will be a bolded disclaimer before the review. I am not a skincare or makeup professional, just skeptical beauty addict, so take what I write with a grain of salt. After all, everyone’s skin and coloring are different. For reference, I have combination skin. It is dry in the winter and oily in the summer so I do try products for other skin types depending on the season.

I love to try new products and accept products/samples for review! Whether a product was provided for free or bought by me have no influence on my opinion of the product. If you are a brand or company interested in working together for some reviews/blogposts, here are some things that would help the process along:

I only blog about products and services I have tried. I don’t feel comfortable recommending things I don’t have personal experience with in some shape or form. Information regarding the brand or product is always appreciated, but it will be accompanied by my opinion/experience in the posts I write.

Skincare takes time to show results, so blog posts of skincare products will take 1-2 weeks to go up. Or if you have an approximate deadline in mind, please let me know and I will try to accommodate.

Honest review means objective reviews. I do my best to state the pros and cons in my review in addition to if it worked for me. If a product truly didn’t work, I will contact you to work something out. However, if you want me to stretch the truth for a 100% positive review, I am not the right blogger for you.

Thank you for your consideration. For examples of posts I wrote on products/services provided for review, click here or here. For any inquiries, further information (or feedback on how to make this blog better!), feel free to contact me through the form below:

Aww, thanks for the nomination. =)
Lol, it was May 29th your time but May 28th my time when I saw this comment, would be funny if I had posted immediately and then it will look like I “received” your nomination before you nominated me. Anyways, my post is up. Woohoo! =D

Please invest in an editor. Your grammar is atrocious, which makes you seem very uneducated. What most people seek is an educated opinion. If you can’t even form a simple sentence, how can we possibly trust your opinion on, well, anything?

Are you referring to this page, anything specific or all the blog posts you’ve read so far? I’m not a native English speaker and do all the pictures, writing and editing myself so there are definitely a lot of things that can be improved. I am improve things bit by bit, so if there is anything specific that is bad or distracting, I would be grateful if you let me know. I will pay extra attention to my writing from now. Thank you for your feedback!
